Youth Health

During a health camp carried out on the International Women's Day (8th March), we offered an integrated package of health services to the Kamwoka Community.

Youth Alive aims at increasing access & utilization of Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services among the young people through provision of inclusive, integrated, targeted and age-appropriate and youth-friendly SRHR services that include; SRHR education, HIV testing services, linkages and referral, family planning, Voluntary Male Medical Circumcision (VMMC) and STI management. We also build capacity of service providers to provide these services in a youth friendly manner using the youth safe spaces at service delivery points.

Our key innovation is creation of spaces for the adolescent mothers to access & utilize antenatal and safe delivery services; access & use family planning services; then recruitment into an accelerated formal education program, practical skilling, mentorship and business/entrepreneurship development. That, with the involvement of the male counterparts through the MAN UP campaign to prevent, protect and defend the sexual reproductive rights of adolescent girls is critical to reducing HIV infections and adolescent births within the said cohort.
